¿Por Qué Mi Abuelita Puso Sus Calzones en el Refrigerador?

Resumen del Libro

Libro ¿Por Qué Mi Abuelita Puso Sus Calzones en el Refrigerador?

On some days, seven-year old Julie feels like she's living in a Fun House. Hers is a topsy-turvy world where the toaster sprouts a toothbrush, and a watermelon gets dressed up in pink underpants for Fourth of July! But on other days, Julie struggles with understanding why her Halloween trick-or-treating got cancelled, or why Grandma can't remember her name. Julie is struggling with understanding her grandmother's Alzheimer's disease. Authors Max Wallack and Carolyn Given believe that no child is too young to learn about this disease, or how to participate in providing safe care for their loved one. Why Did Grandma Put Her Underwear in the Refrigerator? is a sensitive, light-hearted children's story that seamlessly provides its young readers with a toolbox to help them overcome their fears and frustrations. It shares easy-to-understand explanations of what happens inside the brains of Alzheimer's patients, how to cope with gradual memory loss, with a missed holiday, or even a missing Grandma! This 40-page fully illustrated children's book is told from a second-grader's perspective in her own style and vocabulary, but it lovingly shares real strategies, scientific insights and lessons of dignity from which adult caregivers may also benefit. Max Wallack has received numerous national awards for his work on behalf of Alzheimer's patients. These include the Nestle Very Best in Youth Award, the Citizen's Bank Trufit Good Citizen Scholarship, the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award, the Jefferson Award for Public Service, the Daughters of the American Revolution Community Service Award, and the President's Call to Service Medal. He has published in respected journals in the field of Alzheimer's disease and has presented his work at national and international conferences. Carolyn Given is an experienced caregiver herself and an acclaimed middle and high school educator with particular interest in intergenerational programming. Prior to her teaching career, she served as her town's Council on Aging Director and later became cover-story writer and editor of The Senior Advocate (now called the Fifty Plus Advocate Newspaper), a Massachusetts-based mature market publication. Most recently she was the recipient of an award from the Soul-Making Keats Literary Competition sponsored by the National League of American Pen Women. Together, Max and Carolyn have created a book that is a necessity for the millions of children and grandchildren who are currently dealing with this incurable disease.

Libro Teatro Promoción Resad

Dos de los alumnos que están en este volumen no han tenido que cavilar mucho a la hora de elegir cuál de sus textos publicar. Lola Blasco Mena y Antonio Sansano Escudero han obtenido sendos premios con sus trabajos para el Taller de Dramaturgia. La primera ha ganado el Premio Buero Vallejo con Pieza paisaje en un prólogo y un acto, y el segundo el Premio Ricardo López Aranda con 14.000 palabras. Puesto que ambos galardones llevan aparejada la publicación, ha sido muy razonable que se optase por traer a este volumen las obras del Taller Fin de Carrera. Esta ha sido también la decisión...
